Review of American Milkshake (2013) by Reena A — 08 Sep 2013

For the most part, I could never related to any coming of age high school stories in popular media, because it was so different from my own experience from outside D.C. in a school with extensive racial diversity and the nerdy magnet program that further complicated any stereotypical hierarchy of school portrayed in movies.

While I am of course partial to liking American Milkshake because it essentially captures my upbringing, I think its a funny and entertaining film that totally gets the behavior and mindset of teenagers and captures racial dynamics that are prevalent outside a predominantly all-white bubble.
